092021 Do I Need Life Insurance?

If someone depends on you financially, you are most likely someone who

needs life insurance.

Life insurance provides cash to your family or loved ones after your death.

This cash, known as the death benefit, replaces your income and the

many non-paid ways you support your household. Your family can use this

cash to pay for expenses like funeral costs, a mortgage, college tuition

and more.

Just a few examples of people who often answer “yes” to the question of

“Should I get life insurance?” include…

 

Married couples

Many spouses find it difficult to make ends meet without the other earner’s

income in the picture.

 

Married couples with kids

In addition to losing one spouse’s income, the surviving parent may have

to pay for childcare and more without the other parent around to pitch in.

 

Single parents

As the sole income earner for your family, you’ll want to think about how to

replace your child’s only source of financial support.

 

Stay-at-home parents

From cooking meals to shuttling kids to school to helping with homework, 

stay-at-home parents perform many critical responsibilities that would be

costly to outsource.

 

Empty nesters

Many surviving partners would not be able to maintain the lifestyle they 

worked so hard to achieve without life insurance.

 

Retirees

Depending on the size of your estate, your heirs could be hit with an 

estate-tax rate of up to 45%. Fortunately, cash from a life insurance policy

gives heirs access to tax-free money to pay for immediate costs and more.

 

Business owners

Life insurance can help your business in many ways if you, a fellow owner

or a key employee were to pass away

090921 Those Dying From Covid-19 Are Least Likely to Own Life Insurance...

Many companies have sharply reduced estimates of their exposure, as measured by payouts per 100,000 U.S. fatalities   As the number of U.S. corona virus deaths surpasses 200,000, public-health experts point to a series of missteps and miscalculations in the country's response. Here’s a look back at how the U.S. became the center of the global pandemic.   Sept. 28, 2020 5:30 am ET    U.S. life insurers are paying out far fewer Covid-19 death claims than initially expected, largely because the virus is disproportionately killing people with little to no insurance.
